Tasting notes

“The finest white Bordeaux blend in the country” – Tim Atkin MW
Isliedh is a remarkable combination of 75% Sauvignon Blanc blended with richly textured Sémillon. The blend offers beautiful floral notes of white orchid, rose and peach blossom. The fruit leaps from the glass, unveiling a harmonious blend of white fruits, ripe nectarine, pink grapefruit, figs and lemon curd. Hints of floral oak spice combined with fresh thyme gives the wine an extra layer of depth. The palate is rich, saline, full and textured with the classic long lasting mineral finish. 2020 – 28

Cape Point Vineyards is a family owned, female driven vineyard located in Noordhoek on the Cape Peninsula, against the slopes of the famous Chapman’s Peak mountain range. It overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean about 1,2 kilometres away.

The Sauvignon Blanc portion of Isliedh is hand-selected from a single vineyard parcel facing the toughest conditions on the sea-facing Vineyard – severe winds and rocky, decomposed granite soils result in tiny bunches packed with complexity. The grapes were hand harvested from steep slopes in early hours of the morning. The Sauvignon Blanc component is barrel fermented in French oak, after which it is left on its lees for ten months of maturation. The Sémillon component is fermented in clay amphora pots according to ancient tradition, in order to better show the mineral qualities inherent in this wine.

This wine is firmly established as one of SA’s best white wines and it has become a Cape classic since its 2003 debut, with ten maximum 5-star ratings.
